To know the resistanceof a galvanometer by half deflection method, a battery of emfand resistanceis used to deflect the galvanometer by angle. If a shunt of resistanceis needed to get half deflection the,andare related by the equation:

Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Let resistance is connected with galvanometer of resistance , than

Now, as shown below figure a shunt is connected in parallel with the galvanometer for half deflection in it, that is , than

As, shunt and galvanometer are in parallel then
On, substituting the values of and in above equation
